Decas
Concentration not disclosed
Mandarin and tuberose over a heart of benzoin and opopanax, then vanilla.
Decas belongs to Xerjoff's 1861 collection, devoted to the history of Italy. Its name means 'ten' in Latin: it arrived ten years after the collection's first fragrance.
Brazilian mandarin, tuberose and tobacco open the composition. Benzoin, opopanax, a resin the Romans already burned, and Tuscan orris form a balsamic heart. Musk, Tolu balsam and Bourbon vanilla give a soft base.

Decas in detail
Xerjoff, the house founded in Turin by Sergio Momo, devotes its 1861 collection to the history and identity of Italy, unified that year. Decas, whose name means 'ten' in Latin, arrived ten years after the collection's first fragrance; the house files it among its orientals.
The official pyramid opens with Brazilian mandarin, creamy tuberose and tobacco. The heart gathers benzoin, opopanax, a honeyed resin the Romans already burned, and Tuscan orris. The base pairs musk, soft, cinnamon-like Tolu balsam and Bourbon vanilla.
Decas is worn in autumn and winter, by day or in the evening. Its resins give it a balsamic, almost honeyed softness, without heaviness. It suits a quiet evening or a winter afternoon.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue share some of its materials: Manhattan by Roja Parfums brings together tobacco, benzoin, vanilla and musk; Vanilla Vibes by Juliette Has a Gun pairs vanilla, benzoin and musk; Spiritueuse Double Vanille by Guerlain combines vanilla and benzoin.
